LV1a,vlai14s Since 1952 the Academy grounds have been graced by our lNlcniorial Chapel. The light in its spire has since become a landmark of the city. a guide to river navigation and a sign of the warmth and never-ending guidance of our Academy Chaplains. The ollices in the Cadet Recreation Hall serve both chaplains. Chaplain Smith assigned here and Chaplain Quirk stationed at the Groton Training Station. Cadets receive prompt coun- seling whenever the need arises and have the opportunity to pursue a vigorous religious life. On Sundays. Catholic Mass is at eight o'clock followed by Protestant services at nine thirty. Wednesday there are Protestant Vesper services and a Rosary service for Catholic cadets. There are Bible studies weekly. and the Academy fre- quently has guest speakers, and communion breakfasts. The tremendous work required of our chap- lains consumes all their time, effort and ability. The fruits of their labors can be seen any Sunday at the Chapelg of credit to them is the fact that cadets are guided in serving MGOD and HU- MANITYH. Chaplain R. L. Smith Chaplain J M Qank
